Description

Jora, a modern Peruvian restaurant located in Long Island City, offers amazing authentic Peruvian food and drinks, according to a Peruvian native. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience enjoyable. The restaurant has a small off-street parking lot, which is a plus in a neighborhood where parking can be challenging. One guest had a negative experience with gluten contamination, but others had positive experiences with the food and service. The dishes, such as seco de Cordero and aji de gallina, were delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is handsome, though the noise level can be a bit high. Overall, Jora is highly recommended for those looking to try unique and flavorful Peruvian cuisine in a pleasant setting.

Excellent place, second time I visited and the food was again excellent! Ambience is really nice as well. Ordered the seco de Cordero and aji de gallina. Both delicious! I don't live in NY, otherwise I would definitively be a recurrent customer.

The food was excellent...I recommend the octopus app and the braised lamb shank as well as the mussels. Service was excellent and the vibe was pleasant.

Th waiter was very knowledgeable about the entire menu, and gave us detailed information on the selections we were making. The food was excellent from the salad and seafood soup we had as appetizers, to the entrees we ordered. Menu was not flexible, but all came out very good. Prices were pretty moderate. Would definitely do it again.

To preface: I am vegetarian. The ambiance was beautiful and the staff were incredibly polite. We came in a bit before the kitchen closed and they still accommodated us. I ordered the only labeled vegetarian entree and to be frank it wasn’t the best. It was just French fries, onions, mushrooms and 2 cherry tomatoes basted in a balsamic-y sauce. I opted for no rice which probably was a mistake, but either way I didn’t think that dish warranted a $20-24 price tag. My brother ordered a meat dish which he throughly enjoyed so I would definitely come back if I could eat meat or for the drinks. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labelled vegetarian dishes Vegetarian options: For lunch entrees only one labeled vegetarian dish.

The paella was so delicious, along with the ceviche as the app. The charred broccolini was also phenomenal. The only dish I would advise against getting is the grilled octopus. It was so salty that I was taken aback. I normally love my dishes with a dash more of salt, but this had me reaching for the water almost instantaneously. The drink menu is great with wine, cocktails, and beers. The atmosphere is lovely with the most wondrous decorations. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
